Work is a Serious Game

‘”There are features of games that are highly engaging,” (Byron Reeves) says. “We want to figure out why they work, what ingredients they have, and then isolate them, recombine them in other areas that can be used explicitly for good.”’

If you agree with this, you’ll want to read this article from the Business Innovation Factory (BIF), “Work is a Serious Game.”

Byron will be a “storyteller” at the BIF-7 Collaborative Innovation Summit (runs September 20-21 in Providence, Rhode Island).  The BIF Summit was named by Mashable as one of the “7 places to see great minds at work,” and Byron is excited to be a part of it.  As of press time, tickets are still available.
